Wolf Dogs in Montana.

The various range associations
 here recently imported from
 Colorado a lot of stag hounds
 which were recommended as ex-
 cellent wolf exterTinators, and
 they are more than pleased with
 their investment. The dogs get
 away with more wolves than the same number of men armed with
 Winchesters could. Wolves have been very numerous in all this section for some time, and have lessened the profits of stock men materially by killing sheep and calves. When the hounds arrived they were kept in confinement for awhile and then they turned loose. Six of them went with one party of men out on tho range, and in less than two hours they had twelve wolves at bay. The fight that eventually occurred is de- scribed by eyewitnesses as most . interesting.
 The dogs appear to work on an understanding, and thelr move ments indicate as much intell;- gence as human beings would | exhibit Hunting in couples, they invariably bring down their game. One of them will seize a wolf by the neck and throw hlm twenty feet in the air before he knows what ails him, and when he comes down the other grabs him and pulls him limb from limb. In the big fight spoken of this plan was followed by the dogs, who went at 1t like veterans, and they had finished nine of the wolves when the others turned tail and got away. Every day now when the ranchers want a little fun they take the dogs out. and it is not long before wolf Is scared up. The hounds are fed on corn bread and buttermil'S, and tue only taste Of flesh that they get is when they nip a wolf-Montana Cor. New York Sun.

Two of the leading and most in
fiuential newspaper in Rochester, n.
Y, raised the price Of their papers
on New Years day from two to
three cents per copy. They say at
two cents copy they can make no
money. Rochester is a larger and
wealthier citythan Annapolis. If two
cent papers can't make any money
there, what hope is there for one
cent paper here?
We have sometimes seriously
thought Of enlarging and making
other important improvements in
THE CAPITAL, and doubling our
present price but in the absence Of
any cordiality Of feeling on the part
Of our contemporaries here, we are
unwilling to take the risk at pres
ent. In the near future however,
we hope to make such arrangements
as will enable MS to carry out the
proposed change, to the advantage
of our patrons and ourselves.
